Good morning,

The grace of your Father to live a more meaningful and powerful life as a witness will come upon you My yielded ones. You will experience a fresh fire from Holy Spirit and you will be set ablaze. It will increase as the year goes on and will not be consumed by the outer influences of testing and trials. You will desire a more intimate relationship with Me, pressing in for a deeper understanding of the times and seasons. Just like the sons of Issachar, there will be an urgency in you to increase your discernment, you will recognize that it only deepens as you stay hidden in the secret chambers with Me. As you receive moment by moment refreshing from an intravenous hookup to My presence. You will hear My voice clearly, able to distinguish it from all others because that is what intimacy with a Lover produces. It produces an awareness and closeness to the Lover that you invest your time with. You are now ripe and ready for this journey. Here every part of you will be laid open so that I may walk you through to wholeness and as you yield yourself to the process of maturation you will arise to the high place that I made you to walk in. Trust Me to do the continued work. You will see yourself go from Abram to Abraham. You will walk by faith in unknown territory, sometimes unafraid because it is unfamiliar to you, but remember that I chartered the course for you. Run to Me in those times, our intimacy will bring comfort and peace, and fear will be no more. Just follow Me. I have prepared a landing place, a safe haven for you. Be like Ruth who left what was known to walk into her future. I had her promise waiting for her to step into her destiny. All that is required was for her to trust Me and follow. I will not fail any of My people who put their trust in Me. I Am the faithful Father, I always keep My Word. While you look not at the things that are seen but at the unseen realm. It is where I await to respond to your faith. This is why you must dedicate yourself to being more intimate so that you know Me and hear My voice. In the days ahead there will be times of testing and many hard labor pangs but during those seasons know that you will see My goodness and My kindness shown to you. You will know the signs of the times through My Word and intimacy. You will see the generation crumbling under the ways of the enemy in every area, physically, socially, and spiritually. A great advancing to the deeper darkness where sin abounds, you will arise and shine bright. Do not fear, be bold and courageous. You must speak up and speak out against ungodly injustices. There is a distinct difference between the ones who apply My blood over their lives and those who do not. This distinction has already begun in My house.

“He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding”! (Daniel 2:21)

“So Jesus said to them, You will have the Light only a little while longer. Walk while you have the Light [keep on living by it], so that darkness may not overtake and overcome you. He who walks about in the dark does not know where he goes [he is drifting].” (John 12:35)

“All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.” (Psalm 25:10)

Good morning,

I Am taking My people beyond what they are used to and it will be marvelous. See I Am taking some of the things that you have done in My name, and I Am incorporating and weaving them into the fresh new pattern that I Am making. But so many of My people have slid back and they do not even know it. My people love Me with their mouths but they have other lovers that they put first place. I Am calling My children once again to make Me your God, your only God, your source, your desire, and your passion. No one else can take My place. No one else no other God can give you what I can. You must yield your members for I have said whoever you yield yourselves servants to that is whom you will obey and so many of My people have become obedient to the god of this world, and the system of this world. I require My people to come alive once again and be holy. For I Am holy and I Am separating and calling My people into a place of holiness so that they can hear Me and walk in what I Am calling them to. You can do this. There is nothing too hard or too difficult for you in Me, you can do this and I Am calling you to a higher level in Me. So put your hands in Mine and come up as you praise Me. See what is going on in the realm of the spirit. See, leave off the gaze of this world for it will keep you bound but fix your eyes on those heavenly things and you will see and know what I Am doing. I Am doing something new and fresh in you as I prepare for our family gathering. Get ready and stay prepared.

“Because this nation approaches [Me only] with their words And honors Me [only] with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me is a tradition that is learned by rote [without any regard for its meaning],” (Isaiah 29:13)

”Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)?” (Romans 6:16)

”Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too difficult or too wonderful for You—(Jeremiah 32:17)

Good morning,

Open wide your gates so that the King of Glory may come in. This is something you must do every day for My Word says, give us this day our daily bread. Often by the sin of omission, you will open up gates to other things in your life. So every day you must open the gate and allow Me to come in. I will come in with wisdom, insight, healing, and everything that you need. I will bring it to you, I will make it available to you. I will uncover those things in your life that have been covered for years. Every day that you allow those gates to be opened, I will come in and reveal myself to you in a fresh new way every day. Open those gates and by opening those gates I mean to come and sup with Me. Come and daily take the bread that I have for you which is a living sustenance that will bring strength, insight, and ability. For My people have been found with too many gods and they have allowed other gods to usurp the authority and the place in their lives, by the sin of omission, by not opening up the gates every day to Me, other gods have access to your heart, to your lives, to your gateways.

So I say to you today as you open these gates once again fresh and new every day, I will come and sup with you and reveal to you mysteries. I will speak to you things that you know not of. I will reveal to you the hidden recesses of My heart and My mind. I will allow you to know the deep things and you will walk in them in the days ahead and men will see the difference between you and those who are not like Me. Those who are separate those who are called apart, those who have consecrated themselves will see the difference, and some will want it but they will not run after it or put forth the effort, and for others, it will be cast aside as so much dung to them. But for you that continue to hearken to My voice I will allow you to walk in the high places, to know Me, and to understand Me. The decisions that you make and the choices that you make from this moment on will be only because you have been with Me and know My Word. Everything that you do from this moment on will be based on My Word not on your feelings, not on the circumstances but on My Word. you will become more like Me every day that you open the gates. So open the gates, do it daily and you will know Me more intimately.

”Lift up your heads, O you gates; yes, lift them up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in.” (Psalm 24:9)

”Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.” (Revelation 3:20)

”But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9)

Good morning,

In the midst of all that is going on in the world, there is an excitement welling up on the inside of believers. We can sense that our God has brought us to this place for some of our greatest moments as the Body of Christ. We are about to truly represent the Kingdom of God like never before. He has made the promise that light shines the brightest when it is the darkest! Let us meditate on this prophetic word and begin to decree what our Father is saying.

Stubborn stains of sin, all those stubborn stains and they keep trying to pop back up. You have applied the blood and you have applied the Word, but it seems that it will scrub it away for a moment but then it comes back up again. Hear the voice of the Father: These stubborn stains will be removed. There are specific ones in each one of your heart and life and mind that I Am removing today.

Those who have been asking Me over, and over again, “Why God, why does this keep happening. Why do I keep feeling this way? Why do I have to keep dealing with this?” If you have said those things to Me and you keep saying God, “I’m trying, I’m trying”. Hear Me say to you:

There are set times, times that all that you have been doing have brought you to. There was a set time at the pool of Bethesda. There was a set time for your Lord, My Son to come. Set times, and in those set times supernatural occurrences happen and all “the time” has been bringing you to your set time. Do not despise those washings that you have gone through over, and over, and over again, for it has brought you to this set time.

This transition will open up a large and broad way. This is a set time and when I finish, everyone will know that you have been with Me in preparation for your set time. Mark it and tattoo it in your heart, do not just put it on a sheet of paper, make a banner about it, so that every time you run by it, you will reinforce your set time by declaring it with your mouth. Put it on something where you will see it all the time. You will say with your mouth, this day I received my set time, I was always being brought to this moment. Everything that I have been doing, everything that I have gone through, every struggle, every test, and every trial has brought me to my set time and I have come to the pool of Bethesda and I Am made whole!

“Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.” (Ps. 102:13)

“He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.” (2 Samuel 22:20)

“And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Hab. 2:2-3)

Love,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear

Good Morning,

We will continue to discuss holiness of the heart, which is simple obedience. We saw that King David
had a repentant heart, when his sin was revealed by the Prophet Nathan.
There was even serious consequences of his sin, even after he had
repented. When we sow seeds, there is an expected harvest, whether good
or bad. God is not mocked whatever seeds we sow that and that alone
will bring our harvest. (Gal.6:7) The scripture goes on to tell us; "For
he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the
flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the
Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." "But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. " (Gal.6:8 and verse 4)

Now, let's look at the heart of another king and how he responded when the sin of his heart was revealed. Remember a simple definition for holiness is obedience to God and His Word with a yielded heart of humility. We
will pick up the account after Samuel the prophet told Saul the king,
to wait until he came to meet with the king and offer the sacrifices of
The Lord for the armies of Israel. You can read I Samuel 13:1-14. "
Saul waited seven days, according to the set time Samuel had appointed.
But Samuel had not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from
Saul. So Saul said, Bring me the burnt offering
and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering [which he
was forbidden to do]. And just as he finished offering the burnt
offering,
behold, Samuel came! Saul went out to meet and greet him. Samuel said,
What have you done? Saul said, Because I saw that the people were
scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days
appointed, and that the Philistines assembled at Michmash…. So I forced myself to offer a burnt offering." (that is usually how we say that we ended up in sins, shortcomings, faults etc.) "And
Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly! You have not kept the
commandment of the Lord your God which He commanded you; for the Lord
would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your
kingdom will not continue; the Lord has sought out [David] a man after
His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince and ruler
over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded." We
must obey God in the simple things, that is the testing and proving
ground for the one who will obey. We can not go around picking and
choosing what we'd like to do and nullifying the rest of God's Word, because it is difficult on our flesh.

Now let's see if there was a heart change in king Saul.
Samuel gives Saul a Word from the Lord, that he was to utterly destroy
all of the Amalekites, men, women, infants , ox, sheep, camels and
donkeys. We know that Saul took the king of the Amalekites alive, and
he kept the best of the sheep, ox, camels, all that was good, Saul
kept. Listen to the voice of the Lord; "Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, I regret making Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not performed My commands. And Samuel was grieved and angry [with Saul] and he cried all night." (I Samuel 15:10-11). Samuel
went to meet Saul and of course he heard and saw Saul's disobedience to
the Lord. Saul, blamed his sin and disobedience on everybody else.
Samuel reminded Saul that when he was small in his own eyes, God made
him ruler over Israel. He told him again of the assignment that the
Lord sent him on, to utterly destroy the Amalekites. Yet, Saul
consistently said that he did obey God. (I Samuel 15:18-20) "And Samuel said, Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." Listen, to the very next words, get it in your heart! "For rebellion (disobedience to God's Word) is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness (insisting on your way, becoming hardhearted to God) is
as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the
Lord, He has also rejected you from being king. And Saul said to
Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the
Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their
voice. Now, I pray you pardon my sin and go back with me that I may
worship the Lord.(verse 23-24) Do
you notice the difference of the heart of Saul compared to the heart of
David? Saul hasn't yet repented of his sin. He wants to look right in
the eyes of his people. The words that he is saying are not coming from
a broken and contrite heart,(the one that God will not despise). They
are coming from a prideful and arrogant heart, that needs to be noticed
as one that is respected. Why do you say that Pastor D? Let's look at
Saul's heart. "And as Samuel turned to go away, Saul seized the skirt of Samuel's mantle and it tore. And Samuel said to him, The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it
to a neighbor of yours who is better than you. (David) And also the Strength of Israel will not lie or repent; for He is not man that He should repent. Saul said I have sinned, yet honor me now, I pray you. Before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord your God.' (verses 27-30)

Saul did reap his harvest, for not repenting. He
lost the kingdom and also lost his mind and the respect of the people
that he was trying to impress. Obeying God is better than any sacrifice
that you think is more worthy than yielding to His Word. When we sow to
the flesh we reap a harvest of death and decay. Remember, "If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. But
if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the
mouth of the Lord has spoken it." (Isaiah 1:19-20) It is the heart that consents, or is willing to obey that ends up obeying. Will to obey and you will obey!

Love,

Pastor D.
